End Canada's combat mission in Iraq and Syria and refocus Canada's efforts on training and humanitarian support.

What success looks like

Canada ceased conducting fighter jet strikes in Iraq and Syria and adopted a more comprehensive approach with increased resources for stabilization, humanitarian assistance, and training.

Government's narrative on progress

In February 2016, Canada ceased conducting strikes by CF-18 fighter jets on Daesh targets and increased contributions to the training of Iraq Security Forces, and to humanitarian and stabilization support. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are contributing many capabilities to the multinational efforts to degrade and defeat Daesh. In Budget 2019, the government committed $442 million to renew Operation IMPACT, Canada’s military contribution to peace and security in the region, until March 31, 2021. Up to 850 CAF personnel are assigned to Operation IMPACT.
